Communities and Environment First Act of 2021

NACD advocated against the reinstatement of the Superfund tax in H.R.3684 - Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act as a pay-for. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act passed Congress in November and on November 15, the President signed the bipartisan $1.2 trillion Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) into law. Unfortunately, this package included reinstatement of Superfund Taxes. The Superfund Tax on chemicals is being sold as a fee on chemicals, but it is really a new tax on consumers. The 42 chemicals identified for taxation are the building blocks for a limitless number of goods, including steel, plastics, wood products, copper, cement, glass, pesticides, fungicides, pharmaceuticals, rubber, paint and coatings, batteries, solar panels, soap and detergents, ceramics, textiles, semiconductors, water treatment, light bulbs, refrigerants, dental fillings, fireworks and consumer electronics. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also impede the goals of the Bipartisan Infrastructure Framework by making the components of infrastructure more expensive-including clean energy building blocks such as renewable energy, advanced coatings, energy efficiency solutions and electric vehicle (EV) infrastructure. The Superfund Tax on chemicals will also make U.S. manufacturers less competitive. Additionally, NACD advocated for full repeal of the Superfund Tax in Q1 2022, as well as partial repeal/exclusion of certain chemicals not manufactured in the US. Legislation surrounding the regulation of ethylene oxide. Opposition to H.R. 314 - Communities and Environment First Act of 2021 introduced by Rep. Cedric Richmond (D-LA) as it relates to an increased excise tax on ethylene, S. 984 - Break Free From Plastics Pollution Act of 2021 introduced by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) as it relates to ethylene product classification, and H.R. 1512 - CLEAN Future Act introduced by Rep. Frank Pallone (D-NJ) as it relates to ethylene product classification. NACD advocated for legislation to be introduced that would require the Federal Maritime Commission (FMC) to conduct a review of any systemic decisions by ocean carriers to discriminate against maritime transport of hazmat. Ocean common carriers have continued to refuse service to imports of hazardous material shipments via maritime transport, possibly against the law. The draft bill text was included in the Senate version of the Ocean Shipping Reform Act of 2022 that passed the Senate and House in 2Q 2022 and signed into law by President Biden on June 16, 2022.
